Legend

the so-called "Last Grand Admiral," this Imperial Navy officer was a native of the Tapani Sector. A former noble, Grant was known for his disdain of aliens and droids, an aristocratic trait that fit in well with Imperial doctrine. However, his haughty demeanor didn't sit well with the Moffs, and Grant wsa often snubbed in the political arena. Because of this, he was the last of the Grand Admirals that anyone would have believed would be the one to survive the longest. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, Grant found himself without a political sponsor, and ws forced to seek sanctuary within the Pentastar Alignment. After seeing many of the other Grand Admirals kill themselves in petty border disputes, Grant defected to the New Republic on the condition that he be granted diplomatic immunity. The New Republic believed that all the Grand Admirals had been accounted for, in the wake of the Battle of Endor, but had not learned of the existence of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Grant would have gladly helped the Republic defeat Thrawn, but no contact was ever made with him at his retirement villa on Rathalay.
